Why is "c'est bon" used here instead of "elle est bonne", when it's expressing opinion over something specific that you know the gender of already?
One example given is: Tu as vraiment des yeux de lynx !
You really have eagle eyes!Isn't "lynx" a "lynx" in English (and eagle is "aigle")? Or is "yeux de lynx" an expression that means very sharp eyesight, similar to "eagle eyes"?This isn't directly related to the lesson content, but regarding the example
Sache que je pense toujours à toi.
Know that I'm still thinking of you

I know that you cannot cover every eventuality but with the multiple choice questions, I am so often finding that I have got the topic correct but that there is another trap in the questions but the learn and discuss sends me back to the bit I have got right!.. like when to put -t- between two vowels (a-t-appellé) sends me back to the passé composé I can see that the traps are meant to be helpful but not when we can't see why it is actually wrong and keep making the same mistake.
What is the conjugation of two derivatives of "venir", "parvenir" and "convenir" in Le Passé Composé?
Tu es sortie bien que je ne sois pas d'accord.
This is the correct answer, but shouldn't "sois" be in the subjonctif passé, since the English is "was"?
WhyWhy "le premier jour de 'Hanoucca" and not "le premier jour d'Hanoucca"
